... Prior to the experimental setup, the physicochemical parameters such as temperature, pH, biological oxygen demand (BOD), total organic carbon (TOC), phosphate concentration and nitrate concentration were studied using standard procedures as previously described [12]. The heavy metals such as Boron, Cadmium, Arsenic and Mercury were determined using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. ...
... The lower value of electrical conductivity shows that organic compounds such as crude oil cannot conduct electricity very well [8]. Studies on conductivity of polluted soil reveals that when conductivity of the soil is high, its increase can be attributed to high level of contamination, which as well result to increase in the concentration of some soluble salts in the soil [9][10]. The sandy nature of the soil aids infiltration of contaminants and increase the pollution pathway for contaminants [11][12]. ...
Investigation was carried out to examine the effect of crude oil contamination of Aluu soil and some of the physiochemical parameters. The physiochemical parameters studied were temperature, pH value, electrical conductivity and available phosphorus. The result obtained revealed the significant effect of the crude oil contamination on the physicochemical parameter investigated. The statistical analyses used were analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression analysis. The time has effect on temperature and pH. P<0.05 significant but has no effect on available phosphorus and electrical conductivity P<0.05 not significant. There were high positive correlations between physiochemical parameters and time.
